    IB Great at catching erroneous trades

    So, would it be possible to set TWS to have that box popping-up ONLY on orders that are sent outside the bid/ask spread by a certain amount while all correct ones are sent immediately?

    Intel

    I think is worth waiting to see if those averages cross or not and play direction with a tight stp: 4%+ is a good return and it is likely to be achieved in two or three weeks max if the move is up. On the fundamental side earnings season kicks off in early January and the stock is bound to move...

    Intel

    I was one of those who criticized Z charts and prolly wrongly so: anyone can make his/her own mind about direction and although I wouldn't pay too much attention at vols because during the Xmas period trading slows down considerably, when I look at other indicators I can see the stock has a good...

    Packaging yourself for a life after trading fulltime

    If u had done your calculations u would have realized that taxes are going to eat half of your profits. So the return is around 10-12%. I and my family before me have been managing estate for decades, and my example was based on one of my proprieties rented as a commercial space. On smaller...

    Packaging yourself for a life after trading fulltime

    Obviously returns are not exceptional but virtually risk free and with passing of time your proprieties are bound to appreciate if u buy on the right places. Here in Europe (Italy) from a space in city centre with an estimated value around 200.000 euros returns are of around 45.000 per year...

    Packaging yourself for a life after trading fulltime

    I was not necessarily referring to the us housing mkt and for sure neither to the jpnese. Also I was not talking of houses or flats: this can be dangerous territory because your tenants won't guarantee u they'll be there the next day. On the other hand a solid business or a well establish one...

    Packaging yourself for a life after trading fulltime

    Stay away from anything related to mkt if u like it no more and if u managed to save some decent buck throw everything into real estate. Buy big spaces that can accommodate banks and restaurants; u'll live off a sure income for the rest of your life.

    Steve is one of the few here on et who's got a clue of what he's talking about. I cannot believe moderators prefer to give more credibility to potential scammers. It's a disgrace.

    Any trader From Italy?

    Italy is the only country that has a tax on the tax for electricity, even though it is illegal. Italian government has been crippled since the "mani pulite" era. Taxes are skyrocketing and and there's corruption on every level. To live comfortably you need tons of money because the...

    Ig offers weekly expirations on uk stocks with min £20.000.000.000 capitalization. I don't know now but they might have expanded the range of products to us stocks. Binexx might have more choice and the quoted odds are better: the price is influenced by mkt participants as well as by the...

    The ER2 Trading Journal

    You simply observe the price-range for every 3-5 min candle formation: it usually has a movement of 3-10 ticks or more; follow the action on L1 and place orders aggressively on the book to capture the range between the lower and upper shadows.

    The ER2 Trading Journal

    I was comparing it to ym myself: $10 a point is double ym tick value so certainly you have higher negative expectations right from the start, but don't necessary have to risk more: mental stops don't need to be bigger than 7-10 points and at least it's not stuck. these past few days er2 made...
